Indeed. Just realised that I've done nothing at all on this account for nigh on two years. Time passes quickly, huh?

I've been inactive partially due to my own sentiments of my ineptitude as an artist - a friend of mine candidly says that, "dA is chock-filled with wannabe artists, and a few real artists too, i suppose." I generally consider myself of the former category. But maybe that will change if i practice practice practice. Unfortunately, that's another thing i'm particularly bad at

The other half of it is because life has demanded a whole lot of my time during those past two years. I`ll spare you the gory details since i myself don`t know where to begin.

So, dA seems to have changed much since my last visits. It`s a lot more user-friendly now, which is greatly appreciated, and much more proprietary buy-our-goddamn-prints-or-else-we-won`t-let-you-see-full-size-goddamnit, which is not quite as appreciated. But what can ya do? The dA people need to eat too... if they really must. (Surely they could cut back to say, 3 meals a week? I don`t think that`s *too* unreasonable...)

Anyways, nice to see that in the intevening two years people have still visited my page. And a shout out to SonidZero for inadvertedly dragging me out into the merciless wastes of dA through a random game of Team Fortress 2.
